Tummy trouble and about to start baby rice....advice?

I am hoping to be starting weaning this weekend ...by which i mean starting with a teaspoon or two of baby rice! Intending to follow the GF weaning plan. I am worried about constipation. My baby has always been very vocal about his poos and gets very uncomfortable and windy if he hasnt pooed for a day or two. He writhes around and cries and strains. When the poos appear they arent hard, however. I am worried that rice will make him worse.....but most people dont advise any fruit puree until a few days in. He hasnt done a poo forna couple of days and as a result woke up in pain twice last night - the firat time he has woken in the night for months!!! He sleeps 7 to 7 normally. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

what age is he? There is nothing wrong with using fruit/veg instead of baby rice but I wouldnt be giving anything while he is in pain/constipated

Are you weaning early? If not then I don't see the problem with fruit.

Yes he is 4.5 months and we have been advised to wean early as he is refluxy....i am comfortable with this as i have read the medical advice and position papers.

Maybe it's worth speaking to your doctor about the constipation and baby rice then.
